Once in a while I would get these MP3s that Tag&Rename (an ID3 tagger) says is 0-bitrate. When that happens, EphPod (iPod manager) will fail to upload the file also. But other utilities, players and Windows' Explorer can display the bitrate & play the file just fine. Also, "lame --decode" doesn't give off any errors. I've read some VBR files have incorrect headers, but these files are CBR. Here's what I've tried:
- removing ID3 v1 and v2 tags.
- MP3-Tag Studio's CR/LF fix, remove junk data, VBR header fix - it says "not a VBR file" even if I force it
- VBRFIX (willwrap.co.uk) - It complains that its not a VBR, but even when I set it to write anyway, it doesn't help
- mp3Trim & mp3DirectCut - even extreme trimming doesn't seem to help
I don't really want to decompress & recompress these... Any other ideas?
